Abstract
Fifth generation mobile networks (5G) will be featured by miniaturised cells and massive dense deployment. Traditional centralised network control cannot adapt to high signalling delay, and is therefore not scalable for future 5G networks.To address this issue, we adopt the software-defined networking (SDN) approach of decoupled network control and data transmission. In particular, delay-sensitive interference suppression for data transmission is decoupled from delay-tolerant topology control and base station coordination. This substantially alleviates the requirement of network control on delay and complexity, hence simplifying 5G control plane design, reducing signalling overhead, and enhancing network scalability. Case studies show that our decoupled network control is effective for timely interference mitigation and reliable topology management. The stability and scalability of our approach are also demonstrated.
